Rydal House, Flat 4, 22 St Johns Hill, Wimborne, BH21 1DD
About Rydal House
Rydal House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wimborne (BH21 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 108 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in Rydal House, where floor areas span 68–109 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 5 units on file.
At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £414,000 is 34.6% above the 2014 sale price. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2020.
